ASUS X5DIJ Laptop - It Hasn't Converted Me (Totally)!

Advantages: Impressive hard drive
Disadvantages: Short battery life

...You know you have people who like cats and people who prefer dogs? Well I believe you have people who prefer desktop PCs and people who prefer laptops! I have to admit I've always been a diehard desktop fan. After more than a decade of using just desktops at home I was persuaded by my husband to go for a laptop, he's adamant that they look better and likes the fact that they take up less space. I wanted/needed something with lots of memory and a decent processor. As I work in an IT company my colleagues were very helpful in recommending various laptops and eventually I went for the Asus X5DIJ-SX247V, sounds complicated? Not really! It's just the "official" name of my fairly new laptop/notebook. I knew I needed something with over 320Gb of memory which seemed to be the standard for many of the laptops on the market.

Review of Asus X5DIJ

First laptop

Advantages: Well made
Disadvantages: Only used for small amounts of time

One to introduce shapes so when you press the button it will tell baby what shape it is and then the said shape will light up on the screen.

Review of VTech Baby's Laptop

The Notebook

Advantages: A gorgeous love story, great acting
Disadvantages: None

...The notebook was one of those films that I had heard people talk about but had never actually seen. Based on the best selling novel my Nicolas Sparks, I was told by many people that this was exactly the kind of film that I would love and so around twelve months ago I bit the bullet and ordered the dvd from play.com where it was ridiculously cheap costing around four pounds! When the dvd arrived I actually waited a few weeks before watching but it is now up there with my all time favourite films. The story begins in what looks to be quite an up market care home for elderly people. We see an elderly lady being approached by Duke, a gentleman who wants to read to her. He tells the story of Noah and Allie who meet as teenagers one summer. Noah is immediately drawn to Allie and although she is initially wary of him they soon begin...
